As more information has filtered through the channels of diplomacy and commerce, a better picture of the violence that has disrupted an otherwise peaceful nation has become more clear. Conflict had been brewing between a group of Erithi traditionalists within the Eloth Dai, and a younger group that calls itself the Volnath Dai.

The final ultimate act of violence came as the assassination of the founder of the Volnath Dai, an Erithi pilgrim who traveled from Elanthia to bring the teachings of Voln to Atan Irith just under eighty years ago. Since its inception, the membership of the Volnath Dai has grown significantly, but not without controversy among the conservative members of the Erithi nation. Undoubtedly, the assassination of the pilgrim was an act to bring a halt to the growth and existence of the Volnath Dai.

In other news, related or not, there has been an increase in dock traffic from Atan Irith.
